  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Leaving the forums...help!

aww... :hug:

this has probably been brought up before buuuuut..

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..."

Okay, here's the story...

Last night, Jamie told her mom about how she met me. Her mom and dad really disliked it, and they now no longer allow Jamie to talk with anybody she has met online. Also, her parents are going to try to make her date other guys... :( She won't do it, though. Jamie and I are going to be together one day.

I feel absolutely terrible, because not only does this mean that I can't talk to her, but none of you can, either. I'm sorry to everyone else who loves her that you won't get to talk to her anymore. :cry:

Jamie was allowed on the computer to 'break up' with me. However, we decided to simply put our relationship on hold until the time is right. True love cannot be stopped: only delayed for a little while.

We know not the road, but we are sure of our destination. There will be an answer... Let it be. I will never love a girl other than Jamie... that's why our relationship is going to work out. I am keeping my head up and allowing this time of absense to make my heart grow fonder and to grow closer to God.

I rededicated my life to Him over the summer, and I have not strayed from that commitment. However, today, I surrender my life to the Lord wholly. Whatever He wants me to do, I'll do so without question. I will not question Him in this trial, for I know that I will grow closer to Him as a result of this adversity.

My new favorite verse, which has been stuck in my head all day, is: "Trust in the Lord, your God, with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding."

I just wrote all of this post completely out of order, but I hope it makes sense.

Basically, here's what I'm saying... I am thankful that her parents love her enough to look out for her. However, I wish I could have a chance to show my sincerity. I really do love Jamie, and I hope the best for her. When we're together, I will do all that I can to be the best I can be for her.

Please keep Jamie and I in your prayers... This time of adversity is very rough already, and it has just begun. But we both know that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. :prayer:

I'm so glad you realize that we find strength through the Lord, scott. You are incredibly mature (both spiritually & otherwise) & I know that as long as you both seek God's face first, the rest will be *added unto you [both].* The Lord never leaves us, so you have nothing to fear, scott. He will help you both through this & He will give you the strength to carry on and persevere through this. It is a promise...and God makes good on His promises :hug:

Hey there! I am impressed with the maturity you both have in this matter. Most couples would rebel and such, but it's refreshing to see your trust in God. I thought I'd give you a little encouragement. I know someone personally who went through the same thing as you and Jamie are going through. Her parents forced her to break up with him, and she honored them. In the end, God honored her and they have a wonderful marraige based on Christ. You really don't know the road...and even the end is subject to God's will...but as long as you trust Him every step of the way, He won't let that go unnoticed. Seek His will...it's where you'll be the happiest. :D I eagerly await the conclusion of God's plans for you guys...how exciting to be obedient to Him and His will!!!
